Question
Explain how large water bodies prevent extreme temperature in areas around them.
✓
Answer
Large water bodies like seas and oceans prevent extreme conditions in areas around them. In coastal areas during day, the land heats up faster than water, so cooler air from the sea flows towards the land (sea breeze), keeping the temperature moderate. At night, land cools down faster than water. The air above the sea remains warmer, while the cooler air from the land moves towards the sea (land breeze). This movement of air helps prevent extreme temperatures in coastal regions.
